Senator DeMint Objects to the Appointment of the Conferees
I see these people also have an astonished look on their face as obama walks by. Notice that one guy. He is looking at obama as if he is an IDIOT. Of course obama has not noticed this. Obama acts if he doesn't notice what people do. When millions tell him not to spend money the government doesn't have or that they don't want obamacare he just walks on by as if he doesn't hear or care what anyone thinks. Of course what he thinks of himself is not reality. He, as this picture illustrates, is a baffoon on parade for all to see and make fun of. Obama does not deserve any respect because obama has not earned any respect!

When Senator DeMint engineered, and Republican Leader McConnell actually objected to the appointment of the conferees, he was really handing the ball off to the left wingers — progressives if you will — and now they have their shot to either hold their own clan members who are against the Senate compromises and force them to vote No, or have their policy demands be ignored and take the crumbs from Senator Nelson’s and Senator Lieberman’s table.
Now, because of the Senator DeMint’s objection, unless the House votes for the Senate bill unchanged — which is highly unlikely (see below) — then the Senate ObamaCare bill must be amended on the House floor to gain the votes they need to pass it on the House floor. And because of Senator DeMint’s objection to the appointment of the conferees, there will be no conference, or conference report.
If the House amends the Senate bill, they then have to send the amended bill back to the Senate — where all the 60 vote margin cloture votes still apply — cloture on the motion to proceed, and cloture to end the filibuster and cloture on any amendment.
Do I believe that this objection to the appointment of the conferees will kill ObamaCare? Yes, if the progressives or those 64 House Democrats who voted for the Stupak amendment do not roll over and play dead.
This monkey wrench may explain why the White House is putting out the word that it wants the health care bill to pass the House after the State of the Union, in February.
